What you sow is not made alive unless first it dies.
Notice the "it", same body.
heavenly bodies and earthly bodies
The which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit.
Earthly bodies, heavenly bodies, same bodies.
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1 Peter 1:23 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
John 3:3 - Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
1 Tim 6:16 - Who only hath immortality,-> dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
1 John 1:5 God is light......
God's word is Light, hence Jesus taking on and accepting the word of God,..... is the light he is dwelling in or as John 1:18 puts it, Jesus is dwelling in the Bosom of the Father, The Word.
The Bible is very clear as to why God was beholding to raise Jesus.
The Bible is also clear, the same Jesus will return as they saw him God, flesh and bone.
The flesh that the Bible says cannot go to heaven, is in the above context, the natural, corruptible.
So the fleshly, natural aspect of the person (mind) is what needs to or will die.
Yes we may say or think, how can this happen = not the point as we have to accept what the words say.
Anything else is speculation, creativity.
